35 Montreal Museums a touch away

Montreal has a rich museum scene ranging from the big Museum of Fine Arts to the spectacular Pointe à Callière Archeology Museum to the surprising Musée de Lachine. Now you can explore these museums on your iPhone or iPod Touch.

The Board of Montreal Museum Directors (BMMD) has launched the app to celebrate its 25th year promoting Montreal Museums.

The well designed app allows you to explore Montreal’s 35 museums and gives you a preview of the exhibits you can expect to find. Using the GPS in your device the app displays the museums closest to you as well as providing 5 tour maps you can follow. The BMMD plans to update the app regularily so that each time you return to it you will discover something new that may encourage you to visit a particular museum. You can also share your discoveries by mail or Facebook directly from the app. Check out this video to see the app in action.
